Nothing says summer to me like watermelon! I love just gnawing a slice down to the rind, spitting the seeds like I did when I was a kid, and enjoying the contrast between ice-cold melon and hotter-than-Hades afternoon air. I have yet to trying boozing a watermelon up (drilling a hole and letting some vodka in there to soak in), but I'd be willing to give it a shot. :)

I love watermelon in the summer, it's always so refreshing! And of course, the iced coffee is something I just can't live without during the summer :)I follow your blog and also follow you on facebook, twitter and pinterest! [email protected] (Jen aka GreenBirdie)

First off, just found you through Pinterest, which has become my new obsession. So excited to find all these creative outlets, though I dont always have time to create my own due to enrollment in a doctorate program. Nonetheless, I love your site because it has it all! Everything from fashion to home and food...and FUN. Rock it! As for my favorite summer food, that is too hard to pick. So much good stuff grows in the garden. I like to enjoy it all in salads or smoothies. I like taking fresh from the garden items like cucumbers, mint and chard and adding it to a smoothie with frozen fruit like peaches and melon from the Farmer's Market. I switch it up all the time, but one thing stays constant...its refreshing, cleansing, and straight from Mother Earth. Sometimes I will freeze it into popcicles. Yum! Thanks again for your hard work.

am following your lovely blog as a google-user..My favorite summer meals are all kinds of berries in a variety of ways: as cakes, milkshakes, on bread with honey, with Joguhrt, as ice-cream, on pancakes, in salads or simply by itself. Yummy! Besides drinks with berries i love *Hugo* as my favourite summerdrink: champagne, elderflower syrup and mint. Refreshing!
